"What? This is Greenfield City, which is known as the beautiful city-state [City of Flowers]?"
Deng Jian looked blankly at the city not far away shrouded in gray haze.
At this time, one day had passed since the fight with the man from Pluto. Zhao Chen, Deng Jian and his new partner Ye Fenni finally passed through the Forest of Trumpet Buds and arrived at Green Field City.
However, the city in front of them, with chimneys and factories standing everywhere, emitting black smoke into the sky, really shocked Deng Jian and Zhao Chen.
On the other hand, Ye Fenni on the side was relatively calm. She frowned slightly, looked at the black smoke in the sky, and explained: "The City of Flowers was already named three years ago. In the past two years, people have developed amazing reserves under Green Field City.
In order to extract and develop oil and natural gas, they opened a large number of factories here. The flowers, plants and trees were polluted, and they all withered and stopped growing."
Speaking of this, Yevni paused, and her eyes lit up with a nostalgic look: "I still remember that in the summer here before, people would hold the [Flower Festival] in the flower fields under the sun. On that day, people all over the city would
Gather together.”
"It's a pity that that kind of scene can never be seen again." At this point, Yevni felt a little depressed: "In a while, Greenfield City will probably be completely reduced to a barren land."
"..." Zhao Chen was silent for a moment. He looked at the layer of black smoke and dust covering the surrounding vegetation and said, "Let's get the badge first."
"Yes, leave here as soon as you get it!" Deng Jian agreed: "I'll check the location of the Elf Club in Luye City..."
"I know where it is." Eveni said. She paused and explained: "I was here a few days ago."
"Okay, then you can lead the way!" Deng Jian said.
Ye Fenni nodded, glanced at Zhao Chen, and asked: "Are you collecting badges to challenge the Eagle Country's Super Trainer Competition?"
"No." Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Challenging the Elf Club is an experience for me."
"Okay." Yevni accepted this statement and continued: "The club rules in Greenfield City are 1v1. The president here is named Alice. The elves that are good at using include Monarch Snake and Poison Rose. Use your strength to defeat her.
It shouldn’t be a problem.”
"Monarch Snake and Poison Rose, the 1v1 mode... is pretty good." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.
Yevni smiled and said: "It is said that the reason why Alice set the battle rules as 1v1 is because she is lazy."
Zhao Chen:......
While talking, the three of them also arrived at the door of the Elf Club in Greenfield City. Unfortunately, the club was closed, and a note was posted on the door, saying that Alice had to go out for something and would not be back until tomorrow.
In desperation, Zhao Chen could only leave temporarily and wait until tomorrow to come back.
On the way to the hotel, Deng Jian looked at the pedestrians hurriedly passing by wearing masks, and whispered: "Have you noticed... there are no elves on the streets of this city..."
"Who said that? Look over there." Zhao Chen pointed to an alley at the corner and said, "There is a smelly mud..."
Deng Jian looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw a smelly mud creature crawling out of the trash can, then going through the manhole cover and into the sewer.
At this moment, the sound of an engine starting suddenly came from above their heads. Zhao Chen raised his head and saw five or six planes flying over their heads. Where they flew, the gray haze in the sky disappeared.
It was as if it was absorbed, and then the blue and clear sky was revealed.
"What's going on?" Deng Jian was a little confused.
Zhao Chen and Ye Fenni looked at each other, and Ye Fenni shook her head, saying that she didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly, a sigh came from behind them, and then an elderly grandmother walked over with a cane. She looked up at the sky above that had been "purified" by the plane, and sighed: "Purification Days are coming more and more often.
They come more and more frequently. Is the pollution getting worse..."
"Purification Day? Grandma, what are you talking about?" Deng Jian asked doubtfully.
The old lady turned to look at him and said, "Are you from other places?"
Deng Jian nodded.
The old lady sighed and slowly narrated: "Ever since that group of people came to set up factories on a large scale three years ago, haze has enveloped the sky of Luye City. Since then, the surrounding trees have withered, and the elves have also
Left the city..."
"Later, that group of people didn't know where they found a way to purify the sky. They would purify the city's sky every seven days. The day of purification was called Purification Day, but the clean sky did not last long.
The sky will be shrouded in smog again."
"Recently, the number of purifications has become more and more frequent. It used to be once every seven days, but now it is every three days. This shows that the environmental pollution is getting more and more serious..."
After hearing these words, Zhao Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. After a while, the haze in the sky was purified and the entire sky became cleaner.
"Let's go to the west square and have a look! There will be a beautiful fireworks show there soon..." The old woman said, then turned and left, leaving Zhao Chen and the other three looking at each other.
After a while, Yevni said: "Would you like to go see the fireworks show?"
Zhao Chen thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay, anyway, being idle is nothing."
After making this decision, the three of them took a taxi and drove towards the West Square. The driver only took them twelve minutes to get them to their destination.
After getting off the car, it was evening.
The sun has already set halfway down the mountain, reflecting the colorful sunset glow on the horizon.
Many residents have gathered in the square. They are resting, playing, or looking up at the sky.
Soon, the sun completely set, the sky was covered with a black curtain, the street lights were on, and an unpleasant factory smell filled the air.
At this moment, the planes that had purified the sky not long ago gathered above the square. They lowered a robotic arm from the cabin, and the end of the robotic arm grasped transparent boxes.
As the robotic arm descended, the transparent box automatically closed, revealing the contents inside. However, the objects were shrouded in darkness, making it difficult for people on the ground to see clearly.
"It's about to begin!"
At this time, expectant voices came from all around.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen and the others immediately cheered up and looked up at the sky.
Three seconds later, the thing grasped by the mechanical arm suddenly emitted a burst of intense light. Under the light, Zhao Chen could clearly see the appearance of the thing.
It was an elf that looked like a white hedgehog, with the upper part of its body covered by lush, fresh green grass. There were a pair of pink flowers growing on both sides of its body, and its four short white legs were weak in the air.
struggling.
That's...Semy?!
Just when Zhao Chen was shocked, the Shemies in mid-air emitted the light from their bodies. The light condensed into a ball and exploded directly in front. For a moment, balls of fire illuminated the darkness, red and red.
The tail flames spread out in all directions, looking like a bright firework.
